when will apple add K100D support in Aperture?

I am on the verge of buying iView Media Pro. If apple doesn't begin supporting the K100D in the next month or so, I'll have no choice but iView, which would stink considering the fact that aperture is a superior app!

Why not make an Automator workflow so you can automatically have Image Capture pull the pics off your K100D then auto. import them into Aperture? That is what I would do if I was in your situation. Oh, & I never knew MS owned iView?

In some cases, i.e. when Aperture - or to be correct Mac OS X* - supports another model of the camera maker, you can "cheat" and change the raw.plist to import your files:

- You could start with SILKYPIX Free Version
- I am seeing reports of *SD* SanDisk Extreme III cards that also come with the Capture One voucher, so I would go to some shops and ask about this (make sure they let you check the box contents before buying it). [Ahh, forget it. The K cameras are not supported.]

ok, did the hack, and am now reinstalling the aperture trial. just a note-the DNG version of the file I happened to convert is REALLY washed out compared to the .PEF. odd...
edit: I tried saving as DNG from pentax browser, and preview won't even open it. any software other than adobe DNG converter that will accept .PEF? thanks again,
will

update: I can now get RAW images originally taken with the K100D (yay!), but can't get full size previews, which I believe is actually a DNG converter problem. Anyway to solve this? Also, where can I get info on getting started? I have an inkling that there is more to this $300 app than a browser, an adjustments panel, and a way to make photosites and books.
Thanks again,
